Strain analysis reveals subtle systolic dysfunction in confirmed and suspected myocarditis with normal LVEF. A cardiac magnetic resonance study

Authors:

Abstract
Lake Louise Criteria (LLC) are time-dependent and some acute myocarditis (AM) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) could be missed, due to the limited accessibility of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR). We aimed to assess the potential value of cardiac strain measured by feature tracking (FT) imaging in this population.
